    The service was exceptional and very attentive. My husband had the beef Wellington, I had the bolognese, both were very delicious. The Wellington was cooked perfectly and the flavors all melded together nicely. We shared the seasonal bread pudding for dessert. It was rich and dense, it was delicious I just would not have been able to finish it solo.

    My recent visit (my third visit) to The White Horse Tavern was a delightful experience, made even more special by my family and me celebrating my birthday. The tavern's atmosphere exudes a cozy and historic charm, creating a wonderful setting for our evening. My mother and friend ordered the Clam Chowder, and both raved about its rich, creamy texture and perfectly balanced flavor. It was an ideal meal for them, especially on a chilly evening. I opted for the chicken dish with mashed potatoes (without mushrooms) and a side of honey-glazed carrots. The chicken was cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful, while the mashed potatoes were buttery and satisfying. The honey-glazed carrots were a standout—sweet, perfectly roasted, and a delightful complement to the meal. For dessert, I had the Orange Vanilla Crème Brûlée. While the texture and vanilla flavor were spot-on, I was disappointed that the orange flavor wasn't as strong as I expected. However, it was still a smooth and enjoyable way to end the meal. The staff went out of their way to make my birthday memorable by adding a candle to the side--a thoughtful touch that added to the celebration. However, the one downside of the evening was the noise level from the guests at the table next to ours. Their loud conversation occasionally made it hard to enjoy the intimate ambiance we hoped for entirely. Despite this minor issue, the experience was lovely overall, and we left with happy memories and full stomachs. The White Horse Tavern is an excellent spot for a celebratory dinner or a cozy night out, and we look forward to visiting again soon.

    Delicious food and great service although I think a couple of waiters were still learning. A historic and quaint little restaurant.

    Delicious salads to start . Petit Filet perfectly cooked . Scallops were divine with beets as their side . House Pinot Grigio was ok - not great , was hoping for a few N.A. beer choices but sadly only had Heineken . More & more restaurants are offering several choices . Brownie candy dessert was amazing & well worth a trip back . Best food so far in Newport !
